'Pay above average'

NINETEEN-year-old Molly Roberts is seeing her career lift off thanks to Manchester Airport.

Molly, from Sharston, Manchester, makes sure the airport runs smoothly as an apprentice in its property services team – arranging ticket desks and office space for airlines and other airport businesses.

Molly says: “The airport is an exciting place to work and you learn something new every day.

“There are lots of pathways open, so if you fancy something different, you can go for it.

“Before my apprenticeship, I was working in retail and studying travel and tourism but it wasn’t for me. An apprenticeship helps me learn and earn at the same time and my pay is well above average.

“To do well working at an airport, you need to be confident and outgoing, willing to muck in and help others in their roles.

“If you’re interested in applying, just go for it.”
